These few words would be enough to describe Marc Marquez\u2019s Saturday afternoon performance, undoubtedly a spectacular one in spite of his worst qualifying result of the season so far.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nine positions recovered in less than a lap and then a great pace that allowed him to cross the line only two seconds away from sprint race winner Mart\u00edn (who started from pole position). Nine key points bagged today for the championship standings, with the #93 still sixth but only seven points away from Bastianini in second.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alex Marquez was 14<sup>th<\/sup> at the finish line. His Saturday cannot be considered a fully negative one with the Spaniard who managed to find both confidence and pace in the morning, two crucial aspects that can make the difference ahead of tomorrow\u2019 27-lap encounter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2<sup>nd<\/sup> &#8211; MARC MARQUEZ #93<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat was literally the perfect start; I did well and was also lucky as I found the right space to dive in and kept the right speed. I got almost sandwiched between Bagnaia and Bastianini, but I got out of it with good speed. The thing I\u2019m happy the most for was the pace we found in the 10-11 laps since I moved out to fourth. Tomorrow it\u2019s going to be very challenging, and you never know how it\u2019s going to end should it rain. Still, I\u2019ll sleep soundly tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>14<sup>th<\/sup> &#8211; ALEX MARQUEZ #73<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe haven\u2019t performed at our best, but it\u2019s not all negative. We found back a good feeling today aboard the bike and our pace was strong also in the sprint race. Obviously how qualifying went surely affected our race, but on the 27-lap distance we can surely aim at something positive.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 13th on the grid to 2nd at the line with an Usain Bolt-worthy start out of the blocks.
